We prefer the shadows where we feel safe over the light which exposes us and causes us to say 'woe is me!'

The Christian should be able to say with the psalmist, 'Oh, how I love your law.'

Grace, by definition, is something that God is not required to grant. He owes a fallen world no mercy.

Was Luther crazy? Perhaps. But if he was, our prayer is that God would send to this earth an epidemic of such insanity that we too may taste of the righteousness that is by faith alone.

The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.

The Arminian view makes the final decision of our salvation rest upon a human choice, not upon a divine action.

Perhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on God’s grace and God’s grace alone for our celebration. It is difficult for our pride to rest on grace. Grace is for other people—for beggars. We don’t want to live by a heavenly welfare system. We want to earn our own way and atone for our own sins. We like to think that we will go to heaven because we deserve to be there.
